It's hard to tell... The way I see it, it's a "car" (Cobalt"s platform/engine) disguised as a Truck, SUV or Wagon but.... When we take a close look at it...from underneath it's a car, from the exterior it's a truck, from the interior it's a wagon. The HHR model was based on the looks of the 1949 Chevrolet Suburban and that Suburban was definetly a "truck" but with a real truck platform, the HHR was designed by it's looks only. I owned many SUV's in the past and I never saw the HHR as an SUV. So...it's a Car-uck (LS) a C-ruck (LT) and a Tr-ar (SS)
